Hi, first of all, I really wanted to thank you for all the great advice
in your book. I am currently looking for a position in sales or
marketing and it wasn't until I finished reading your book that I
really knew what to do with my resume. However, I recently applied to
a position that I knew I was more than qualified for, the email
response I got from the company recruiter was that I did not have any
of the necessary requirements because my resume indicates international
sales rather than export. In my industry experience the terms are
interchangeable. I have over 12 years of experience in all aspects of
international sales and marketing which includes the export process.
In addition, my educational background includes a Masters in
International Business. So when I read that I did not have the
required experience, I was floored. My questions is, at what point do
I need to consider using job specific jargon? I am afraid of ending
up with an endless number of resumes that do not really highlight my
experience or my accomplishments but instead read like a list of
duties. Thank you in advance for the needed advice!
